more work period and tutoring :)

today in class i worked on my accelerated math
i became testable on
-50- Eqns of translated parabolas.
-52- Eqns of ellipses in standard position.
-56- Eqns of translated hyperbolas.
i am currently working on the test.

long time frame between post

Due to some lazyness and other things that have come up in the past month and a half i have not bloged in that time. but here is what we did yesterday.
yesterday was a work period where we were allowed to catch up work and see where we are in the class.
I have mastered 47 objectives in accelerated math and feel that im doing well in class

response to NO HOMEWORK in Alberta

I do not like the idea of no home work. It bugs me that parents would sigh a contract banning homework assigned to their children.



I don't think I would gain or lose from a Homework ban because I only do homework when I don't completely understand something.



I don't think i would learn enough if they banned homework because if I didn't understand something, and i could take a practise home, it would really hurt my marks.

Depending on the work load of the day sometimes I do have time to finish and some times I don't

It does not matter the subject in my oppinion, homework is homework.

logarithmic functions

logarithmic functions are the inverse of exponential functions.

the inverse of y = 2^x is x = 2^y witch is y =log2x
